Currently attached to Stuttgart, his frame of 5ft 10in (1.79m) tall and weight of 13 stone 7 pounds (86kg) makes for a shapely athletic figure on the field. Representing Germany at the national level, Undav sports the number 26 jersey.
According to Transfermarkt, Undav's current market value hovers around the £17 million mark. This veritable sum showcases his standing within the footballing world.
Undav's transfer history is a tale of continuous growth. It all began in July 2017 when he moved from Havelse in the 3. Liga in Germany to the 2. Bundesliga with Eintracht Braunschweig. The details of the transfer fee remain undisclosed to this day.
A year later, in July 2018, Undav moved again to Germany's Meppen, in the Oberliga. His debut was commendable with 35 first team appearances and six goals to his name in the 2018-2019 season. By the next season, undeniably, Undav was on a roll, making 34 appearances and scoring an impressive 17 goals.
July 2020 brought another chapter into Undav's career as he was transferred from Meppen to Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium's Pro League. His two seasons at the club were marked by significant gameplay, scoring 42 goals in 59 matches.
Brighton & Hove Albion were the next to acquire Undav's skilled feet in January 2022. The premier English club shelled out an approximate £6.3 million to have him in the squad. Although just scoring five goals in 22 matches, his potential was not unnoticed.
Within the same year, Union Saint-Gilloise reacquired Undav on loan and he continued his polished form, scoring 42 goals in 59 matches over two seasons. By June 2022, however, Undav was back under Brighton & Hove Albion's fold.
Stuttgart swooped in for a loan deal with Undav in August 2023. The switch to the Bundesliga seemed favourable to Undav as he managed to score 18 goals in 30 matches in his first season at Stuttgart. His remarkably consistent form secured him a permanent transfer from Brighton & Hove Albion to Stuttgart for around £21.5 million.
Undav's ongoing career at Stuttgart has seen him make 19 appearances so far in the current season with 13 goals, and a total of 76 appearances and 40 goals across every version of his tenure.
